Hi Jose!

I contacted Dexter to make sure, and you have a #9 Torflex axle on your 2010 StarCraft 816. The pictures you included made this a lot easier to figure out, so thanks for that!

With that being said, the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-723-01 will be the one you want.

Are you bottoming out a lot or is the lift for a different reason?

Hello Lazer S, I am bottoming out but also want more clearance. Do you know after I lift using kit want rim and tire to buy? I would like to get a bigger rim and tire set. Thank you for your quick response.

@Jose Going to bigger tire/wheel will depend on clearance and the bolt pattern on your wheels. I included an article we made that will help in the bolt pattern regards, if you are unsure of what you have. You will also want at least 3 inches of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of your fender/wheel well and roughly 1-1/2 inches from the sidewall of the tire to the frame or side of the fender. If you can let me know your current tire size, clearance measurements, and bolt pattern, I can definitely figure out what you can use!

Hello Lazer S., I currently have 12 inch rims and I am using 5.3x12 tires. I have a 4 bolt pattern. The distance between bolts is about 2 3/4 inches, I do not know if this helps. The clearance with current set up from top of tire to bottom of inner fender is approximately 3 inches, frame to tire is approximately 3inches and front tire to inner fender is about 4inches. Thank you so much.

@JoseQ With the # K71-723-01 giving you 2-5/8" of lift and you already having 3" (approx), you will end up with 5+ inches of clearance with your current tire/wheel. A 5.30x12 tire will measure 21.9" (call it 22" to make it easier), so you have a good amount of room to work with. The 4 on 4 bolt pattern you have does limit you a little bit, with a 13" wheel being the largest we carry, but the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM3S120 will have a 24" diameter and still give you plenty of room. You could also go with something fancier and larger, like the Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 4 on 4 # AM22322HWT and Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10208, but you would need to have it mounted locally. This would measure 24.7" and you could get away with it, but are starting to get a bit big for your fender/wheel well.
